Review of Darth Vader - Star Wars Rogue One

Introduction
I watched a lot of movies over the holiday season - Fantastic Beasts, Sing, Passengers, Moana, Doctor Strange, Office Christmas Party, Arrival - and none of them disappointed. Some were much better than others (Moana vs Passengers, for example) but none of them left me feeling like I'd just wasted two hours and some serious cash.

But the one I liked the best, and will most likely watch the most, was Star Wars: Rogue One. It was a Star Wars I recognized, and yet it wasn't merely a re-hash of the well worn tropes of the past. It told a story that added value to the overall franchise, filling in one of the greater weaknesses of ANH and actually making that a stronger film in the process. And while some of the acting was...less than award winning, let's say...it still had solid performances in the key roles.

I've heard complaints that it's too dark.  I saw none of that.  Darker than Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen being scorched alive? Darker than Luke having his own hand cut off by his father? Darker than an entire planet, with billions of lives, wiped out of existence? No, not hardly. It was a war movie, and this has always been about a war.  Too may of the films have told the story only from the perspective of the leadership of either side - this was about those actually fighting the battle. And I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It also gave us another look at a kick ass Vader. My youngest kids, who are teenagers, missed out on seeing the big bad version of Vader at the theater, and this was a wonderful reminder of what kind of omnipresent villain he can be. One of his scenes alone made the price of admission well worth it.

Hot Toys has just released their Vader from the movie, and while the overall concept isn't a lot different than earlier Vaders - particularly those from ANH - it seems like they get better every time they revisit a character.
